Elstro's Gallery: [09/03/12] 360 Degrees....

[Elstro]

Well, it took me long enough. Finally here are some shots of my GT5 fleet. I'm still learning the art of GT5's PM, it's a world away from my GT4 efforts...so forgive me please!

I'm still going with the more 'overlooked' machines, but there's some exotica too.

Most of these are unedited for now, I want to wait and see what people's opinions are.

Ferrari 512BB '76:

My Tin Snail. Despite naysayers (and pouring a small fortune into it) it can indeed be, a race winner 👍

Chrysler 300C, supercar ass-whupper:

 

[Elstro]

More updates despite no feedback:

Mitsubishi Lancer GSR '83:

Toyota Celica XX 2800GT '81:

Ferrari 512BB again:

 

[lildomplaya]

Returning the favor! GSR & Toyota pics are really nice, especially the first 2800GT pic. Last pic of the 512 is sick too.

 

[GTR3mh]

Very nice job with the Lancer and Celica. You make the standard cars look near photorealistic .

 

[Elstro]

You make the standard cars look near photorealistic .

Thank you so much! It is what I'm aiming for. Much as I love the premium machines, I wanted to give some attention to the standards too as they make the bulk of the game up!

More updates: this was the first car I bought, a 1998 Lexus IS200. My first matte paint item was used to spray it this fetching lime green. Here it is, now modifed to the max, taking on the Tuned Turbo Cup and Supercar Festivals:

Casually overtaking a Veyron..

512BB in the town square in color is fantastic, I also really like the lime green Lexus. It seems difficult to get feedback around here, even with posting in other people's galleries they don't return the favor. Not the best community but I guess that helps you strive to really make your photos stand out.

Looking forward to seeing more!

EDIT - double post

 

[Elstro]

More updates, my Flickr account is getting full already:


Volkswagen Bora V6 4Motion - one of my GT4 faves!

Alfa Giulia Sprint '65:

And a shot of my MINI @ Monza:

 

[Elstro]

Hopefully, these are of a better standard - I'm determined to get results akin to some of you guys with my large Standard fleet.

Mitsubishi Colt 1400 GLX in VW Jazz Blue:

More of my Lancer EX1800 GSR Turbo, mixing it up in the Tuned Turbo cup at Monza (it eventually won):

 

[Elstro]

I'm begininng to wonder whether it is even worth keeping a gallery on here anymore, but more updates:

VW Sambabus:

At long last, I managed to get hold of a Beetle - one turned up in the used car lot:

Ferrari 512 again, battle-scarred:

 

[Ghertel]

Nice shots man, i like the VW pics a lot and the lancer looks good also!

 

[Ghertel]

you shoud put it "update" in you title, like "VW Sambabus + Beetle update" or just the date like "04/01 update" or somthing like that, that shoud atract some attention i guess/hope.
Still, nice pics dude!

 

[Elstro]

I don't know how to put updates in the title, so I'm gonna have to hope people take a look-see:

Keeping my S13 Silvia strictly stock-looking for old-school GT1 appeal:

Not the most inspiring photo ever taken, I know.

Showing some love for the little Mazda Carol. It must be Japan's answer to the Hillman Imp, it is fairly similar in terms of looks, handling and drivetrain:

VW Bora, painted Lamborghini orange:

Some randoms:

 

[GTR3mh]

What an awesome looking Samba Bus!

 

[Elstro]

Impreza WRX STI Version V (in Mopar Panther Pink), a garage staple since my GT2 days:

Despite appearances, this Kubelwagen has titanium racing exhausts and racing tyres. The exhausts show on other cars, why not here?

Karmann Ghia, leading the classics home:

BMW 1-series coupe, with fireworks:

 

[Elstro]

I've had to copy this thread in order to put an update in the title (I didnt know what else to do lol)

Saleen S7. The sound of this car actually makes my boxers tight:

Jaguar E-Type. AKA the Thorndyke Special (even though that was actually an IMC Apollo 3500GT). Twitchy little beggar but very quick:

Lancia Delta Integrale in Vauxhall Space Green. Absolutely love this car:

VW New Beetle. Used RMK's settings for the Golf GTI RM (same chassis after all)...it's an absolute beast considering it's only 310bhp and an FF:

And finally....my much-talked-about Corsa. Winner of several races from the British Lightweights to the Turbo Championship and Polyphony Digital Cup:

Since these were taken a few days ago it's since been repainted a dark navy..

 

[morf676]

I like that there are a lot of standart cars Beetle shot is awesome

You can update your thread title by clicking on the Edit button on the first page in the first post and then click go advanced you should see it at the top.As for the Standard car pictures alot of them are great anf your car choice is excellent love that you tune them and taking them to places they have never gone before (Overtaking a Veyron at HSR )I will check back on this mate keep it up 👍

 

[Ghertel]

Jup, i'll check it more also, keep those standarts commin cuz they look really good. Also the Jaguar and Lancia are . Nice work Elstro!!

 

[SVX]

Very very nice pictures!

 

[Elstro]

After my experience with idiot noobs online, did this purely to stick two fingers up at them:

Suck it up Veyron:

Newer ain't always better:

Project car #1: Citroen C5. This car's got some potential, great for chucking around.

Project car #2 Vauxhall Vectra 3.2 V6. Tried to make my own VXR. Very fast, but lots of wheelspin and am fine-tuning it to try and get rid of the last of the understeer.

Still fancy a Gallardo? It eats them for breakfast!

Peugeot 205 T16, love this car:

My Mini, winning the Turbo Cup:

 

[kdash01]

Mate... Solid stuff!!! Awesome pics!! M gonna subscribe!You've got an awesome taste in cars... 👍
I checked this out after your post on 'recommend a ferrari'. What I still don't get it though,why you think a California is good looking at all?

 

[HondaFanatic]

DAMN! You sure did great work making the Standard cars look good man! Nice job!

 

[WH4YER0]

Great pic, I love it!

 

[Ghertel]

Hehe, overtaking another Veyron with the Lexus, and an LF-A. Great work. The projects and 205 T16 are nice also. (that mini looks just like mine ;-))

 

[Elstro]

Yet more of my trusty Bug...new coat of paint and new challenge. Took on the Supercar Nostalgia after someone else here won it in a 500...sadly it managed a second place after a hard charge through the field. Not sure what else could be done to catch that pesky second Miura:

Corkscrew:

Playing with illumination effects. Cropped, in the original shot the leading Miura is visible ahead:

Leading a gaggle of Lambos and Ferraris home, Herbie would be proud

Pontiac Vibe. Pretty quick though it needs a little work to effectively put its 345bhp max to the ground. And respraying it gets rid of the ugly SUV unpainted bumpers:

 

[HondaFanatic]

love the last update man, the Bug looks awesome, what color is that?!

And yes, you are the king of overlooked cars! and make em look good!

 

[Stigsblkcousin]

I have to say, you've master making standards looking good! The Celica and the Mirage are awesome shots!!

Standards are addictive aren't they? lol

 

[sems4arsenal]

I really love your work with Standards and your car collection.The right way to enjoy the game in My opinion

 

[Ghertel]

Nice update again, still making the standarts shine, keep up the good work.
